Arne Hassel on the web

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine asked if I wanted to join him doing keto (that is, the ketogenic diet). I’ve heard talks of it before, but hadn’t really considered it as something for me. But at that moment, I was intrigued by the idea of trying it out. And so, the past weeks, I’ve been preparing for it.

I’ve been thinking about a story for a while. The inspiration was a panel discussion on games named Digitale liv - nye ord om spill (Norwegian, means something like Digital lifes - new words on games) that were arranged December 2nd by Fritt Ord. About a month later, I finally got it out of my head, and I’ve published it at Medium.

I recently rewrote this website using Wintersmith, and in this post I’ll detail the process; the ideas I had initially, the choices I faced, the decisions I took, and how the final result turned out to be. (The latest code can be seen at megoth/icanhasweb.)

The post will not be going through how to set up a new wintersmith blog, there are other good resources on that (like here, here, and here).

This is the first entry in my attempt at revitalizing icanhasweb.net. I’ve spent some time this christmas holiday to refurnish the website, rewriting the code, merging two blogs into one, and changing the design a bit.

At work we’ve been working with AngularJS for a few months, and we are very pleased with its flexibility and solutions to many familiar problems when working with large amount of JavaScript code. There have been problems and bugs, but none we couldn’t solve in due time.

But my latest task have left me somewhat puzzled, and I write this post in the hope that somebody out there know what it was about, and also because I just ain’t able to summarize it into a proper question on a forum or what-have-you. So here goes.
